Proteolipid protein: is it more than just a structural component of myelin?

Developmental neuroscience - 1 Jan 1996

Knapp P E

Abstract excerpt

Proteolipid protein (PLP) is the most abundant protein of central nervous system (CNS) myelin. Because of its predicted topography, PLP has been assumed to function as a structural component of myelin, providing stability and maintaining the compact lamellar structure. However, developmental stud...
